Her Source Exclusive | Tahiry Jose Talks About Her New Calendar, Love & Hip Hop, And Her Success

Her Source got an opportunity to sit down with the beautiful, Tahiry Jose, as she talks about her calendar, her success on Love & Hip Hop and find out who’s her Man Crush Monday

What made you put out your own calendar?

Tahiry Jose: I put out my first calendar back in 2011 and it was shoot in St. Lucia, then I had another come out back in 2012. This year it took me a little longer because of my busy schedule. Doing calendars are a whole lot of fun.

How has being on Love & Hip Hop elevated your success so far?

T.J.: Being on Love & Hip Hop has done wonders for me. I triggered my success to the show shout out to VH1 and Mona Scott Young. It’s major that I am on the show, where my story is relatable and that it grew my fan base. There would be times that I couldn’t walk out of a store without being recognized. It helped me and my family a lot.

What do you think of video vixens today compared to 10 years ago?

T.J.: Back then it was something to be proud of and you were making a lot of money. Today is not a big deal and it’s not respected. A lot of young girls would ask me about how to have a career like mine. There is no money in it and social media has taken over. When I first started out, I was paid a lot of money and I even had my own dressing room. Today it’s no point of being a video vixen.

Since you have your club, Suite 135 & calendar, would you ever consider writing a book?

T.J.: I would never write a tell-all. I’m not about bashing or slandering people and revealing who I dated in the past. But probably in five I would write a book but not a tell all.

Who do you consider your Man Crush Monday?

T.J.: Awww man, there are so many. I would say it’s between Omari Hardwick and Derron Williams from Brooklyn Nets. But most likely Derron, he’s just so fine.

Is there a season five of Love & Hip Hop in the works?

T.J.: Well right now, there hasn’t been talks about it. After every season, the cast takes a break and we go back to the office and we discuss what’s going on the season. We haven’t start filming yet but you never know.
